Vector graphics were dated by the time it came out in 1983.


NOT Med-res color hi-speed Star Wars vectors !!! They could never have done the same with raster in those days.....

It's time for the CPO

put on the right position it is not so easy an you do not have many possibility.



Unfortunaltly i managed to replace it one time and finally not really possible, so it's not perfect (the green part)

no other choice :arrow:  don't think about that.



Then cutting wood for parts too damaged.


First on the left the wood parts under the marquee - Attraction Glass
this one

and those 2 others.
